"Grandma...Grandma!" I went to hug her, dazed for a while, then suddenly remembered something, and put my finger under her nose with trembling fingers.

And breath, warm.

"Huaihuai..." Grandma also woke up, and when she saw me, her tone was weak, "You are back, wearing such little clothes, you will die of cold..."

"I'll get dressed right away, right away." I helped her up, trying to put her on the bed.

As soon as she got up, she cried out in pain.

"What's wrong? Where does it hurt?" I turned my head so that she could see the shape of my lips.

Grandma: "I fell on my back, it hurts...Go to bed first, it's so cold..."

I helped her onto the bed, covered her with the quilt, and took out the hot water bottle on the bed, replaced it with hotter water and stuffed it back in. I put one by her feet, one by her legs, and one for her to hug.

"Last night... I woke up in the middle of my sleep and found that the light in the living room was not turned off. I wanted to turn off the light, but I fell there and couldn't stand up. I slept there all night, and the ground was so cold... ...I called and asked someone to call your uncle, but no one came, maybe they were all sleeping...It's cold, so I want to sleep more, your uncle likes to sleep..."

Grandma hugged the hot water bottle and talked about her grievances like a child, but in the end it was her understanding of her son.

"Grandma, what do you think? Go to the hospital." I picked up the sweater outside and put it on.

Grandma looked at my mouth, a little hard to understand.

"Send you to the hospital." I made a "back" motion, pointed at her, and made a "go" with two fingers, "hospital."

"No." Grandma understood now, and waved her hand, "Your uncle has no money, Yanyan spends a lot of money learning how to dance, and you don't have any money either... If you have money, go buy a thick dress to wear. They all wear thick cotton clothes, but I, Huaihuai, don’t have one...don’t worry about grandma, I’m getting old..."

"I'll cook for you." I couldn't stand it, so I sadly picked up the apples and pork that fell on the ground, and went to cook for her.

After dinner, I peeled an apple for her to eat.

"You bought another apple...I said I wouldn't eat it..." She complained, I handed her the peeled apple, she took a bite, and a smile appeared on her weak face, "Oh, it's so sweet..."

Simply amused by her.

Halfway through eating the apple, she became even more insane. She put the apple aside and said that she would eat it later, and slipped into the quilt to sleep.

I sat still, observed her breathing for a while, got up and went to Liu Shengfa's house.

"Damn old! What are you doing when you have nothing to do in the middle of the night?! Wandering soul!"

Liu Shengfa put on his coat and shoes while cursing.

"The light in the living room is on, she's going to turn it off, maybe she wants to save some electricity money." I said.

"Would you die if you didn't turn off that light? Any old man will find trouble for me!" Liu Shengfa combed his hair with a comb, sprayed gel water on it, turned his head and saw me, kicked my ass, and I was crooked Almost didn't fall down.

"Standing in front of my house with such a ghostly look, who do you want to lose?! Go outside and wait for me!"

Originally standing at the door, wanting to enjoy the warm air-conditioning inside, but being scolded by him, he had no choice but to wait for him outside his yard.

"Hey! Lu Huai!" Liu Yanyan poked her head out of her bedroom window, "Is the old lady sick again?"

"She's your grandma," I said.

"She is an old debt collector, so she knew she was sick, how much did it cost our family?" Liu Yanyan shouted downstairs, "Dad! Don't spend too much money on the old woman! I will go to the provincial capital in a while Training! You have to pay 2 yuan in tuition! You can’t get into college without training!”

"Listen to my daughter!" Liu Shengfa responded with a playful smile, and went out, and his aunt followed him.

"Why do you dress like a beggar all year round? The thread of the sweater is open, so you can't buy a decent dress?"

On the way, the two of them walked slowly, and my aunt talked to me behind my back.

Let's talk about Nima, can you walk faster?

"No money." I said.

"What kind of tone is talking to your aunt! It's not educated at all!"

Liu Shengfa slapped me hard on the head.

"Aren't you working part-time all the time? You're always working part-time during winter and summer vacations. Where's the money? Where did the money go?" My aunt poked the back of my head.

Me: "I have paid the tuition, high school tuition is expensive."

Aunt: "Your boy is still promising, do you want to go to university?"

I gave a weak "hmm".

Liu Shengfa: "If you think too much, he is useless. His head teacher and I are good buddies. He said that his grades are terrible, and he goes out to work part-time every day. He doesn't care about his studies. He might as well go to work instead of going to a university. "

When they arrived at grandma's house, they had seen her situation, stood in her bedroom and yelled at grandma.

Grandma was lying on the bed, looking at Liu Shengfa, with a bewildered and frightened expression, like a child who has done something wrong, her face was pale, her lips were dry, and she called out: "Baby..."

"Call me a dead person! A dead old woman! You know you're hurting people when you're alive! If you tell you to die, you won't die!" Liu Shengfa was very angry, and his eyebrows frowned into a big river, but I didn't understand his anger.

Grandma didn't seem to understand very well either. She trembled when Liu Shengfa yelled at her, and looked at me again, her eyes were a little confused.

I'm a little thankful that she can't hear, so she doesn't have to hear his curse words.

"She said her back hurts, Uncle, do you want to send her to the hospital for examination?"

I inserted a sentence in the middle of his barrage of curses.

"You know what a fart! She is so old and sent to the hospital to suffer, you know! She is 82 years old! It's almost there! You see that she is so weak now, maybe it's just a few days ago, take good care of her, there is no need to worry about it." If you have anything to do, call me, I have something to do at home and I will leave later.”

Uncle lit a cigarette, smoked and talked, he talked to his aunt again: "I remember that I seem to have bought something for myself last year, you look through the cabinet."

I couldn't understand what they were talking about, until my aunt pulled out the bottom interlayer cover of the old wardrobe, and found a set of black shroud embroidered with large flowers and a white hat made of hemp rope. Finally understand.

Grandma curled up on the bed, watching them dig out her shroud, her eyes turned around in fear, but she dared not speak.

"Hehe." Liu Shengfa smiled at the moment, "This old woman is so funny, she even has the hemp rope ready, and she is afraid that no one will wear sackcloth for her when she dies."

"She just... fell down and her back hurts. She should be sent to the hospital for a checkup." I persuaded.

"It's your turn to talk? You don't understand anything, what a fart!" He slapped me on the head, "Old people are like this, it's normal to get sick and die when they get old! You Do you think I won’t treat her? You will suffer if you send her to the hospital, you know!”

"Ahem! Ouch! It hurts so much - Ouch! Huaihuai, come here and help grandma rub the medicine!" Grandma called me.

I guess she was really in pain, but I chose to ask me to apply medicine at this time because I was afraid that I would continue to be beaten if I stood here.

I lowered my head, took out a bottle of Xiaohuoluo oil from the drawer, and helped my grandma up.

"You have to listen to what uncle says, he won't hit you if you obey..." Grandma couldn't hear her own voice, thinking she was speaking in a low voice, but in fact, everyone in the room heard it, and Liu Shengfa began to curse again.

I lifted the clothes on her back and saw a bruise on her back. I poured medicine in my hand and rubbed it gently.

Grandma: "It's here, ouch, Huaihuai is lighter... ouch..."

My aunt stood by the door, looking at me from a distance, with disgust: "Tsk tsk, Lu Huai, you are a big boy, and you even help your grandma apply medicine, you are not at all ashamed."

Then you fucking come over and wipe it, I wiped the medicine silently, a giant dragon spewed out flames in my mind, and turned my aunt, a stupid woman, and Liu Sheng into two strings of BBQ.

"As for you, you are still wiping. There are no men who do this kind of work, and there are no rules at all." The aunt was still saying, "Why don't you study, what are you doing with so many books, get married early, get a wife, I can also serve your grandma."

"Then treat me as a woman." I said lightly, "I serve, it's the same."

"Look at the tone of this brat's speech, he can say such words, and his mind is abnormal! The kindness of the black heart persuaded him not to listen." My aunt pointed at me.

Grandma kept looking at me nervously, and I understood what she meant: what are they talking about?What happened?Why do you keep swearing at people?

【Does it hurt? 】I ask her.

"It hurts, it hurts..." she said softly.

I pulled her clothes off, helped her to lie down on the bed, stuffed the hot water bottle into her arms, tucked in the quilt, and said to Liu Shengfa, "Uncle, please take grandma to the hospital, she said it hurts."

"Send me what? You can't understand what I'm saying to you? Sending you to the hospital is a waste of money, you know? You're as deaf as your grandma, didn't you hear me!" He was angry again, he was always angry, like Like an erupting volcano.

"Send him to the hospital for an examination. Maybe it's just a small problem? Is it uncle?" I was careful to avoid making him more angry.

He was really, really loud.

Liu Shengfa roared with trembling face, crackling: "You're going to pay yourself! If you don't have money, don't talk! Anyway, I won't pay this money! It doesn't make sense to talk to you, why are you like this? People? It made me feel like I was going to kill my own mother, and I would suffer if I was sent to the hospital, you know? Anyway, I’ll leave the words here, it’s fine to go to the hospital, you pay for it yourself!”

I looked at him, thought and thought, and finally got the courage to say: "Then, can you give me my mother's insurance compensation and funeral expenses, and I will send my grandma to the hospital, 32, uncle, give me [-], I'll give you back what I can't use up."

Liu Shengfa stared in disbelief, his nostrils moved, and he threw the red cigarette butt on the ground and bared his teeth angrily: "Damn it, is that your money? That's what your mother should pay to support your grandma." The money! You bastard usually looks honest, but you have been thinking about this money? I treat you like my own son, and I am strict with you because I want you to grow up. If it weren't for me, you would be where you are today? You white-eyed wolf!"

Since I found it hard, I should have sent me away when I wanted to go to the orphanage, but I was just reluctant to pay the compensation.

But I only dare to think about it in my mind, and dare not say it.

He was cursing and cursing, his voice getting louder and hurting my eardrums.

"How dare you ask for compensation! You heartless bastard! I will beat you to death today! Your hands and feet will be broken!"

Liu Shengfa was so furious that his face turned red like a pig's liver. When he picked up a hoe, I rushed out the door and jumped into the vegetable field at the bottom of the backyard. My feet were muddy and I ran fast.

"You fucking don't let me see you again! Don't call me uncle! I don't have a nephew like you! I will beat you to death if I see you again! I will do what I say!"

He chased for a while like a mad dog, but couldn't catch up.

Just kidding, can I let him catch up?

I, Lu Huai, have been beaten countless times in my 16 years and seven months of life.

The only thing is to escape.
